Gabion Walls - Complete Guide to Building with Gabion Cages
The gauge of steel as well as the size and type of fill would need to be suitable for the intended purpose. Gabion walls used for landscaping as retaining walls would not need to be as robust as a wall that would have any safety implications such as high walls in public spaces or those that carry structural loads. Unfortunately we can’t guide you much more specifically than that as we don’t know the site, the climate (frost line), the size or the intended use, but the page above should be helpful.
I just learned of Gabion walls today. I'm an expat living in Dominican Republic and thinking of cost effective ways of building a wall, 8-9 feet that doesn't require a trench and rebar when I came across Gabion walls on youtube. My question is ... is it possible to (and I apologize for not knowing the correct terminology) cover one side / face of the wall with a layer of concrete so that the cage isn't visible? I know one point of the wall is for aesthetic purposes but, here in DR, leaving the cage exposed would just be an open door for someone to cut it and ruin the wall. I figured a concrete finish could work.
